Midseason
The Blacklist's tenth season launches at midseason, alongside sophomore runs of American Auto and Grand Crew. The much-delayed Night Court sequel/revival starring John Larroquette and Melissa Rauch is also on deck, as are several unscripted series: the returns of That's My Jam and The Wall, plus new series LA Fire and Rescue, The Wheel (both of which were announced last May) and Million Dollar Island.
Several series are still awaiting renewal or cancellation decisions, and NBC also has several drama pilots in contention for midseason as well.
Consistency is the name of the game in broadcast scheduling. Almost everything here is the same as last fall, with the only new drama replacing last season's canceled fall drama. (Seriously, when is NBC going to get that, regardless of The Voice being one of its higher-rated series, the slot is too difficult to launch a successful new series?) Trying a Friday night comedy block at 8:00 again is the only real "move" made here, but there's really nothing a broadcast network could do that would seem stupid or nonsensical at this point. The model is dead.
